Comparing Quantities Class 7 Extra Questions Very Short Answer Type
Question 1.
Find the ratio of:
(a) 5 km to 400 m
(b) 2 hours to 160 minutes
Solution:
(a) 5 km = 5 × 1000 = 5000 m
Ratio of 5 km to 400 m
= 5000 m : 400 m
= 25 : 2
Required ratio = 25 : 2
(b) 2 hours = 2 × 60 = 120 minutes
Ratio of 2 hours to 160 minutes
= 120 : 160
= 3 : 4
Required ratio = 3 : 4
Question 2.
State whether the following ratios are equivalent or not?
(a) 2 : 3 and 4 : 5
(b) 1 : 3 and 2 : 6
Solution:
(a) Given ratios = 2 : 3 and 4 : 5

Hence, 3 : 8 < 3 : 4 < 5 : 6
Question 5.
State whether the following ratios are proportional or not:
(i) 20 : 45 and 4 : 9
(ii) 9 : 27 and 33 : 11
Solution:
(i) 20 : 45 and 4 : 9
Product of extremes = 20 × 9 = 180
Product of means = 45 × 4 = 180
Here, the product of extremes = Product of means
Hence, the given ratios are in proportion.
(ii) 9 : 27 and 33 : 11
Product of extremes = 9 × 11 = 99
Product of means = 27 × 33 = 891
Here, the product of extremes ≠ Product of means
Hence, the given ratios are not in proportion.
Question 6.
24, 36, x are in continued proportion, find the value of x.
Solution:
Since, 24, 36, x are in continued proportion.
24 : 36 :: 36 : x
⇒ 24 × x = 36 × 36
⇒ x = 54
Hence, the value of x = 54.
Question 7.
Find the mean proportional between 9 and 16.
Solution:
Let x be the mean proportional between 9 and 16.
9 : x :: x : 16
⇒ x × x = 9 × 16
⇒ x2 = 144
⇒ x = √144 = 12
Hence, the required mean proportional = 12.

Hence, the required principal amount = ₹ 37500.
Question 15.
Rashmi obtains 480 marks out of 600. Rajan obtains 560 marks out of 700. Whose performance is better?
Solution:
Rashmi obtains 480 marks out of 600

Since, both of them obtained the same per cent of marks i.e. 80%.
So, their performance cannot be compared.
Question 16.
₹ 9000 becomes ₹ 18000 at simple interest in 8 years. Find the rate per cent per annum.
Solution:
Here, Principal = ₹ 9000
Amount = ₹ 18000
Interest = Amount – Principal = ₹ 18000 – ₹ 9000 = ₹ 9000

Question 23.
If 25 men can do a work in 36 hours, find the number of men required to do the same work in 108 hours.
Solution:
Let the number of men required to be x.
Men : Hours :: Men : Hours
